How about the prediction that the Jews would return to the place of their original homeland? How many times in history has that happened? How about the prediction of the rise of the New Roman Empire (aka "European Union")? How many times in history has that happened? -- Million Mom March For Gun Confiscation http://home.houston.rr.com/rkba/mmm.html "If you build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day.

In fact there are only a small number acknowledged by Biblical scholars as prophets. -- Million Mom March For Gun Confiscation http://home.houston.rr.com/rkba/mmm.html "If you build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day.
